In order to protect the interests of shareholders, PIMCO may find it necessary to limit new purchases of shares of each of the PIMCO National Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund and PIMCO California Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund when PIMCO determines that allowing additional inflows into those Funds could negatively affect a Fund’s ability to meet the applicable Fund’s investment objective. PIMCO may close the PIMCO National Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund and/or the PIMCO California Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund to (i) initial purchases by new investors or (ii) initial purchases by new investors and subsequent purchases by existing shareholders, in PIMCO’s sole discretion. Such a closure will not affect the rights of existing shareholders with respect to shares of the Funds held as of the date of the closure. In addition, during such a closure, the purchase of additional shares of the applicable Fund through dividend reinvestments will continue to be permitted. If the PIMCO California Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund and/or the PIMCO National Municipal Opportunistic Value Fund is closed, PIMCO may re-open the applicable Fund(s) to (i) subsequent purchases by existing shareholders or (ii) initial purchases by new investors and subsequent purchases by existing shareholders, as appropriate in light of market conditions, as determined by PIMCO in its sole discretion.
